Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually deployed in the target area to carry out
detecting or monitoring tasks. Sweep coverage is an important concern of WSNs that more …

Low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) need multiple refuels to accomplish large area
coverage. We propose the use of a mobile ground vehicle (GV), constrained to travel on a …

We study the problem of finding a tour for an energy-limited Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
to visit a set of sites in the least amount of time. We envision scenarios where the UAV can …

We consider a Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (PISR) routing
problem, which includes collecting data from a set of specified task locations and delivering …

We study the problem of planning a tour for an energy‐limited Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) to visit a set of sites in the least amount of time. We envision scenarios where the UAV …

Abstract Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) such as quadcopters are ideal for aerial
surveillance because of their runway independence, terrain-agnostic maneuverability, low …

Unmanned vehicles, both aerial and ground, are being used in several monitoring
applications to collect data from a set of targets. This article addresses a problem where a …

This paper presents an iterative planning framework for multi-agent systems with hybrid
state spaces. The framework uses transition systems to mathematically represent planning …

Heterogeneous vehicles (eg, unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV)) are best suited for surveillance application over large areas. UAVs are fast …

Investigating the path planning of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) covering
multiple regions, this work proposes an effective heuristic method of region coverage path …
